Jam packed with features!
on March 10, 2019
Posted by: PraXXX
I’m an avid mountain biker and cyclist, and find it useful to review my stats and data. And as you know, if it’s not on Strava- it didn’t happen! I can post straight to Strava from my wrist.
No more,”Hold up guys, let my get my phone”!
Im not super into the latest tech and I’m still learning how to use all that this gadget offers. But so far, It seems to work as advertised and seems to be accurate. I’m looking forward to using the TOPO features.
Oh, and this thing looks great on the wrist! I was a little worried about the weight but it’s not an issue for me as it feels pretty light.
The one thing I have noticed is, it will show wear on the bezel pretty easy.
If you’re not techy like me, there are a lot of YouTube videos with demos on how to operate certain features.

I've always wanted a Fenix and finally decided to take the plunge. For me, it is the perfect combination of features I want out of a watch. Looks like the rugged digital watches I prefer, has all the great garmin features, and has just enough smart watch with out overtly being a smart watch in look.

Loaded with features but also some flaws
on March 17, 2019

Comes with just every feature you would need, but the screen has got to be improved. Sure, in bright sunlight it looks good, but in dimmer lighting conditions it's sometimes completely unusable unless you use the back light. In "real life" the screen rarely looks as good as shown in the promotional or web site images. For a device that depends solely on the screen as the user interface, this needs to be improved.

We are sorry to hear you are unhappy with the backlight feature. It is possible to adjust the brightness of the backlight or set to gesture mode where it will come on when you raise the watch to look at it. If you had questions about this or would like more information we encourage you to visit our online support center or call us at 800-800-1020 : https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/fenix5/EN-US/GUID-C9A5E731-8826-4AD0-8087-F6E2EAC625D6.html

This watch take a PHD in modern technology to learn, videos are helpful, be nice if the tutorials slowed down, most videos went by so fast i couldn’t keep up, this is designed for younger Generation, who comphrends technology quickly, i was disappointed, sent watch back, Garmi was great on the refund. I like the watch, and i am sure it will preform exactly as designed,, 100% top quality, if i could find someone to teach me how to use i would try it again
